"Iron Grey" and "Chrome" Covers the Next Nike Zoom Vomero 5

Nike’s steady flow of Zoom Vomero 5 releases continues into 2026, with the lineup expanding through a new “Iron Grey/Chrome” colorway that leans into the silhouette’s tech-driven identity. This pair takes a cooler, moodier approach than recent editions, using layered metallics and dark neutrals to give the retro runner a more engineered, almost industrial look.

The upper keeps its signature combination of open mesh, leather, and glossy synthetic overlays, but the shift to iron grey tones instantly updates the feel. Chrome-finished panels sit across the toe, eyestays, and midfoot, catching light without overpowering the design. The molded TPU cage—one of the Vomero 5’s defining features—arrives in a muted charcoal shade, giving the shoe its structured, ribbed texture without adding unnecessary contrast.

Elsewhere, sail-colored laces and a matching midsole soften the palette just enough, preventing the colorway from tipping too far into a cold, metallic theme. The Cushlon and Zoom Air tooling remains untouched, offering the same underfoot comfort that’s helped the model thrive in today’s lifestyle rotation. Classic details like the dual-branded tongue tag and outlined Swooshes round out the look.

With its grey-based palette and polished accents, this “Iron Grey/Chrome” edition fits neatly into the Vomero 5’s current momentum while offering a slightly more refined look. It keeps the silhouette’s early-2000s tech DNA intact but wraps it in a finish that feels modern, wearable, and suited for year-round styling.

The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Iron Grey/Chrome” is expected to release in the first half of 2026.
